I will definitely make this again. Great flavors. Love the mint with the peas and the suprise bites of balsamic. Doesn't taste Pea-ey - just fresh and bright. (I used fresh peas.)

So delicious! So healthy! So easy to make! Even my husband, who is not a huge pea fan, loved this. We were hosting a dinner party for 20 so I used a food processor instead of a fork, and just added the mint leaves into the mixture. I imagine the balsamic does add a nice extra flavor, but we skipped it and the mint pea spread stood on its own very nicely. Plus (since we live in Brooklyn, a center for dietary restrictions) this is spread good for vegetarians, vegans, gluten free, soy free, nut free etc.

This is pea heaven, a perfect combination. Most people love this recipe but if they don't eat green veggies, or are put off by the bright green-iness of the topping, then perhaps not. But nothing says a summer night in the garden quite like this.

I just served it at a small party. The more sophisticated women loved it. It's pea season and I love farm-to-table cooking so I thought this would be a perfect appetizer. But the men wanted nothing to do with them. I thought it was delicious and really enjoyed them. However, I served them again a week later at a Ladies Soiree and only half were eaten. I think the flavor combination is more "exotic" and not suited for average tastes.

I took this to my book club before Christmas, and a "foodie" who writes for the food section of our city paper asked for the recipe. Taking it again to an Olympic-viewing party this weekend! Can't imagine how anyone was put off by the color; it is a beautiful green. And also how someone wrote that it's a lot of effort? What could be easier unless it would be taking a lid off a carton of French onion dip? :)

What a lovely, easy crostini! I've made it two ways, exactly as written (pureed in the food processor instead of by hand though), and last night I put a bit of the mint and cheese in the processor along with the peas, oil and salt. Then, added a touch of mint and shaved parmesan on top of the crossing, along with a very good balsamic. Both ways are terrific. One note - use very good ingredients all the way through - I bought premium frozen peas, used a very good olive oil and parmagiano. Simple recipes like this rely on quality ingredients.

I really really enjoyed this dish, both making, serving and eating! But it wasn't a huge hit with the crowds, maybe because of the color. Be very careful how much you put on the crostini, less is more
